This new app wants to take advantage of the upgrade by offering you an emoji autocomplete feature. Keymoji is designed for both iPhone and [iPad](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kindly-ink). While it's optimized for the iPhone 5, it may just be one of the first apps you download on your new [iPhone 6](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smartphone-filter-kit) or 6 Plus. The iOS 8 keyboard app automatically finishes your text with emoji characters and will also save your favorite emoji combinations.
